Writes game using Microsoft XNA.
Calls Linux/Mac a top priority...


Riiiiight.
If it weren't for Ethans bloody amazing efforts with FNA, this would likely never happen. Devs need to stop using the proprietary/platform locked shit to start with.

Quoting: DissCentPRIME should really be used over Bumblebee these days. With Ubuntu-based distros (especially Mint), setting it up is really easy and the performance is just great! The only thing that is a little disturbing right now is that fullscreen games don't play well with dual monitor setups since PRIME emulates a virtual screen with a resolution going over both screens, so for example two Full HD screens emulate a 3840x1080 screen and fullscreen games will then use both monitors, splitting the view in half.

Are you able to link to more info about using PRIME?

Err, there is no Linux/SteamOS icon on the Steam page for it... I would never have known it was a Linux port if it weren't for this article.

That's both good and bad. Good, because yay new game.
Bad because... Relying on sales for another platform means it's cutting in to the stats of it a bit. It'll be skewed, as always.

What the heck is

QuoteRight now the plan is PC or Windows, Linux and Mac

supposed to mean?

It will be released for all of the PC OS's, or it will be released for all of the PC OS's?

Quoting: strycoreI'd say Doom but it this is almost guaranteed to work with Wine so I'll go with Dishonored 2 instead.

Fuck that. Needs to be native. There are absolutely no guarantees that it will work with WINE.

Quoting: GuestRather than a particular game, I'd like GOG Galaxy to be on GNU/Linux.

Really agree with that. More and more Linux games are appearing on GOG, and it's starting to get annoying that Galaxy doesn't seem to have even started being ported.

Carmageddon. I can't tell you how much I want this..

Quoting: PlastikIf I remember correctly not many people were happy with the game when it was finally released. The graphics were dated and performance issues on high end PC's was pretty bad. Of course I haven't kept up with it so I'm not sure if that got patched up. Sad that this really puts salt in the wounds of those that have been burned by many game kickstarters.

It looks really, really good now.

And man am I pissed about still not having a Linux version. It's going beyond a joke.

Sounds like it's the old OpenGL issue of only compiling shaders when they get used (hence bombing framerates for new weapons)

This should help sate my appetite until Carmageddon is released for Linux. YAY!!!
